Trainz is now carrying Williams by Bachmann

We are pleased to announce that Trainz now carries Williams by Bachmann. Just search 'Williams' on our site or click the banner to see our current inventory or Williams by Bachmann products.

For those who are not familiar with the name, Williams Electric Trains were a staple of the 3-rail world for 30 years before being purchased by Bachmann in 2008. Williams makes both reproductions of classic Postwar-Era Lionel trains as well as its own designs in a seemingly endless variety of roadnames and colors.

Technologically, Williams engines are about the equivalent of Lionel's Conventional Classics. Williams engines have a nice whistle and bell sound but do not have the complications of command control . They are great pullers and reliable performers. If you are a traditional O Gauger who prefers running trains straight from the handles of the ZW, Williams trains are right down your alley.

Plus, the prices are great. Williams makes the popular Union Pacific 'Heritage' SD90 Diesels, and we have them for just $159.99.

We plan to add to our Williams offerings in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, check out what we have now--you may find a great deal!
